How to play
- Walk with WASD or the arrow keys. On a phone, use the stick on the screen.
- Press E, or tap the button that appears, to look at things and pick them up.
- Open Dad's notebook with N. It fills in as you deliver letters.
Safe to play together
There is no chat, no voice, no names and no accounts. Friends join with a room code and talk with picture emotes and a few friendly phrases. Progress is saved only in your own browser. There are no ads and no trackers.
For grown-ups
The story includes the death of a parent. It is gentle. There is no illness on screen, nothing scary, and nobody is blamed.
Some kids may want to talk afterward. You can ask what they noticed, what they would put in a letter, or who they would leave the light on for. Let them lead, and it is fine to say you miss someone too.
This game is not therapy and does not claim to help with grief. If a child is struggling, a school counselor or family doctor is a good place to start.
Facts and honesty
Every number in the game comes from a list of checked facts, and every fact links to its source. The little worlds are models and are labeled that way. Real photos carry their credit lines.
Who made it
A small team made it as a learning game about the machines people left behind in space, and why they still matter.
